Summary of review, to minimize spoilers:

"Fear may be corny and on the nose, but it’s got some great atmosphere and provides plenty of thrills... It’s always such a relief to have a horror movie that’s not filled with stereotypes, and this does a good job of avoiding them, even if the characters could have used it to add a little personality. One thing I’d really count against Fear is that most of the characters really blend together. There aren’t many distinct personalities. They’re all friends, and they’re all scared... the characters are really fighting their own fears. Director Deon Taylor provides a fast-paced and dread-induced horror flick."

"Rated R... feels like a heavy PG-13. I’m sure Fear will be divisive. It’s definitely for more of the casual horror fan but I won’t let a few moments of corniness ruin what an otherwise fun ride is. And I absolutely loved how the movie looked, with the fear sequences really standing out."
7/10
